new YORK (Reuters Health) – A panel of experts in health United States concluded that women should do the Pap smear or Pap every three years to detect early cervical cancer and just starting at the 21 years, even if they are already sexually active. The Declaration of the Group operation of Preventive services ( USPSTF for its acronym in English) coincides with the guides of three Oncology scientific societies of the country presented the same day. At age 30, women should be eligible for the every five years if you choose to combine the Pap testing with the analysis of human papillomavirus (HPV) virus. “Importantly the emphatic make recommendation, the “” analysis”, said Dr. Virginia Moyer, who chairs the USPSTF and is the Baylor School of medicine and the Hospital pediatrician of Children of Texas in Houston. The recommendation for the Pap every three or five years arises from the evidence that the cervical cancer is of relatively slow growth so that the expert it was considered unlikely that a woman develops cancer Advanced in a few years after a negative result. “Women who develop cervical cancer and “ die for this cause are that no controls are made of “ routine”, said Moyer. “The problem is not that women not be performed a control in a couple of years”, added. The new recommendations of the USPSTF arise...

Miami (USA), 14 mar (EFE).-A plastic surgeon in the United States.UU. It lies in the Centre of a controversy after commissioning a song and the realization of a video that promotes the Rhinoplasty for a character who is described as a person Jewish with a big nose. El doctor Michael Salzhauer funded the video to connect to a younger audience, while the creators of the song, the band “The Groggers”, described as well same as a band of Jewish pop-punk with a humorous touch. “Jewcan Scam” video was made with a comic tone and shows the difficulties facing a Jewish student of a secondary school with a large nose to conquer a classmate. “Jewcan Scam” is a play on words with the name of a Toucan with a large and colorful peak which is a mascot for a brand of cereal. The lyrics of the theme song, entitled “a song of love for a nose operation,” says “I want to, but she does not want what I am.” She says you have a peak as Jewcam Sam. “She says that only comes with types with perfect and pointy noses, so cut the size of yours”. The character undergoes surgery and in the end the girl ends up rejecting him, but a teacher immediately courting. “The song seeks to be funny, not offensive,” said Salzhauer said in a statement. But...

(www.neomundo.com.ar) the balanced diet is fundamental to health, to the point that postmenopausal women who do not eat properly are at high risk of developing anemia, concluded a new investigation. “Overall mortality increases with anemia.” “In addition, this disease is associated with a reduced capacity for physical labour, physical inactivity, injuries related to falls and the International Hospital, so anemia should be taken into account to aging”, said Cynthia Thomson, of the University of Arizona, Tucson (United States). LA ANEMIA the most common cause of anemia is the lack of iron, a mineral present in legumes, eggs, liver, meat, certain types of fish and seafood, among other foods. This nutrient is used to produce hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells from the blood whose function is to distribute the oxygen to all the cells in the body. When there is no sufficient hemoglobin oxygen fails in the required quantities and therefore symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, dizziness, irritability and cold. Food that oxygenates The authors worked with 72.833 postmenopausal women and analysed their eating habits, discussed what nutrients are missing and viewing this information with the incidence of anaemia. Thomson observed that the volunteers with a nutrient deficiency had a 21% increased risk of anemia, while the danger rose to 44% in those with deficiencies in three nutrients. Should “be increased effort to identify anaemia caused by modifiable...

Berlin, 14 mar (EFE).-an international team of astronomers has discovered during his adolescence the galaxies changed their “eating habits” and became cannibals, the European Southern Observatory (ESO) said from its headquarters in the town of Garching, South Germany. More than one hundred hours of observations with the telescope of long-range (VLT, by its acronym in English) that, on Cerro Paranal, Chile, were keys to understanding the growth of galaxies in his teenage years, i.e. between three thousand and five thousand million years after the Big Bang. So at the beginning of this phase the preferred aperitif of the galaxies were tenuous gas flows, but later its growth was due to cannibalism, that fed on other smaller galaxies. “See how face two types of galaxies in growth: with violent events of merger in which larger galaxies devour the smaller, others feed on a soft continuous gas flow that falls on them”, explained the astronomer and leader of the team, Thierry Contini. According to the scientist of the Institute of research in Astrophysics and Planetary Sciences of Toulouse, “both situations can lead to the creation of many new stars”. “To understand how they grew and evolved galaxies need to look at them as accurately as possible,” said Contini, who added that an integral field spectrograph was used for observations in the near infrared, who “plays the same role as a microscope...

New Delhi, 13 mar (EFE).-the Indian Government today revealed that over half (53 per cent) of the 330 million households of the Asian giant lack of a latrine, according to data from the new national census conducted during 2011.
